Curious that the Arabic tradition doesn't seem to include malachite, which makes a beautiful emerald green and was used by the ancient Egyptians and in the 12 century Winchester Bible

Hey Joumana, my name is Izzy. I am a student of the Picatrix, and am in the midst of a deep, creative project that revolves around the garnments one should wear while petitioning the planets, according to the Ghāyat al-Hakīm. I am so grateful for your work here! The decanic inks were a part of the book I was looking forward to experimenting with, but, my lack of specific knowledge led me down week long rabbit holes wayward drifts. I promised myself one more research dip, and lo and behold found part 1 of your project (published on my birthday, no less!). So amazing to see the colors and the process... thank you so so much. I wonder if I could introduce your work to my teacher and our class? I know everyone would be equally as thrilled :) - an extremely grateful izzy
